 LIST OF EXTINCT ANIMALS
Dodo bird
 The Dodo bird is an extinct species
of flightless bird that was native to
the tiny island of Mauritius. Year
back 1598, its population rapidly
decreased and other sources confirm
that it was indeed hunted by the
sailors for an easy snack since it
lacks of movement and easy to catch.
Quagga
 Quagga’s extinction attributed
generally to “ruthless hunting” and
even “planned extermination” by
colonists. Wild grass eating animals
such as Quaggas perceived by the
settlers as competitors for their
goats, ships and other live stocks.
 Ezo Wolf
 It is said to have become extinct in
1905 due to pandemic contagious
diseases like rabies that is something
that “reported sightings by
inhabitants of mountain villages
around the turn of century of large
numbers of dead and ailing wolves”
apparently confirms.
Laughing Owl__
 The reason why Owls went to
extinction is that it had no defense
against its predators who were wild
mamals (hunters of beetles, birds
and lizards). And even humans
hunted Owls for zoos and museums.
Mexican Grizzly Bear Caspian Tiger

 With the expansion of cattle  Tigers were killed by the large

farming within Mexican
Brown Brear’s range the
animals increasingly come to
be considered by cattle
farmers as pests and were
trapped , shot and poisoned
of sportsmen and military
personnel who also hunted
tiger prey species such as wild
pigs.
Golden Toad
The Golden Toad was the species to
become extinct as a result of climate
change. And also its extinct is to be blamed
to humanmade global warming that is
leading biologists believed to be the toad’s
extinction. And this condition results of
climate change.
 GUIDED QUESTIONS IN ACTIVITY 2
 Questions
 1.What mostly causes of extinction of the animals mentioned in the presentation?
 2. What local or global issue can arise from this situation?
 3. How can we avoid the number of extinct or endangered organisms?

 Answers
 1. Hunting by the humans is the mostly cause of animal extinction.
 2. Based on my presentation, the issue from this situation is that the people hunt animals that
cause of endangered or extinct animals that affects our ecosystem and it might not function
well.
 3. Maybe the Government must implement laws that protects the endangered species. Like
protects them , don’t do environmental activities that destroys their habitats because they are
like us, they also need shelters to live with.

 GUIDED QUESTIONS IN ACTIVITY 3
 Questions;
 1 What do you think the passenger of the pigeon felt about their extinction?
 2. As the human being , do you feel guilty about what happened to the extinction of passenger pigeons? Why?
 3.How does this relate to loss of biodiversity and interaction with the nature?

 Answers;
 1.I think, they felt sad and also pitty for themselves because they are gradually depleting because of what
happened.
 2. Yes, because as a human being, we should be the one that protects them but what is happening now is
contrary. We, humans are the one who were the cause of their extinction.
 3. Their extinction affects also the loss of biodiversity because ecosystem revolves around the interaction
between living and non living organisms. If one part of ecosystem is not envolve, it will not function well
especially We humans, benefits from their contribution in our ecosystem.
